People Are Talking About Your Summer Camp

The best time to start actively managing your summer camp's online reputation was about 5 years ago. If you haven't been consistent with that, or haven't even started. ... the best time is now. 

At some point in your camp's existence you will get a bad online review.  Even the best among us have had a small problem happen to a very loud person. 

The only way to counteract that online criticism is to have an overwhelming amount of positive reviews.  

(Did you know that one or two bad reviews actually gets you more sales?   Without a negative review there is no "anchor" of trust. Psychologically, people will believe that you are too good to be true.)

I created this checklist to make it easy for camps to consistently manage their online reputation
